RosieCotton Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 For those who feel your science curriculum is lacking, or you don't have confidence teaching it . . . read this and feel better! :) A friend sent me this link. If it's true and some people actually believe/think this, oh my. I hope it is just some joke. http://www.infowars.com/some-people-actually-think-the-earth-is-2015-years-old/ I know we are doing a better job than THIS!!!!!

Farrar Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I'm pretty sure the woman who seemed to think America was 2,015 yo was not kidding. Sigh. Twitter brings out the stupid. Then again, I have seen a lot of people share that no gravity in January thing a LOT on my FB feed, so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merry gardens Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Good to know that so many of them "can't believe the earth is 2015 years old". I can't believe it either. And just to clarify, lest there be any misunderstanding-- I don't believe it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuga Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 SAT scores are dropping in large part because of regression towards the mean--as college becomes a requirement for any job that has a salary needed to support a family (my grandpa had seven kids and bought a house and retired at 55 after dropping out at 16, bless him he sacrificed in Korea but my ex-h sacrificed for more years in Afghanistan, so yeah)--more and more people who are not traditionally college-aspiring are taking the SAT. So that is a bit of an unfair metric. But yes some people are truly foolish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yay! I can feel better about myself. LOL I was giggling at the dude "catching a brain aneurysm", so DS (8 years old) asked what was funny. I told him. He said "that's not even true, it's like.... Billions of years old!" Phew. No worries though, Tomorrow he'll ask what a noun is or something just to put me back in my rightful place. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Not only science, but history. Good grief. Although I usually take those things with a grain of salt. Like those "Man on the Street..." interviews. The ones where they ask a question, "who is the Vice-President of the United States?" And they get all kinds of crazy answers and bemoan the state of the US educational system. You don't know how many right answers they had to sift through to get the 5 completely insane ones they broadcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
